About the Tree

Do I really own a tree?
By joining the Forelia “Own an Olive Tree” program, you symbolically "own" an olive tree grown and cared for on our private land in Greece.

Can I name my tree?
Of course. You can name your tree anything you like - your own name, a loved one’s, or even something creative. The name will be recorded in our registry and attached to your tree.
 
Can I visit my tree?
Yes! You are always welcome to visit our olive groves in Greece and see your tree in person. You can touch it, take photos, and enjoy walking in the grove that now belongs partly to you. For family or corporate packages, we can even organize special visits or private tastings.
